Lebanese Man Confessed to Murdering for Israel
Lebanon to complain about Israel to UN
Jun 17, 2006
BEIRUT (Reuters) -Lebanon will complain to the United Nations about Israel after a Lebanese man confessed to killing Hizbollah and Palestinian guerrillas on the orders of Israeli intelligence, the prime minister said on Saturday.
"We consider this as an act of aggression (by Israel)," Fouad Siniora told reporters.
"We are working on the file and once it is completed we will submit a complaint to the United Nations Security Council."
Lebanese military intelligence arrested Mahmoud Rafeh and three other suspects last week in connection with a May 26 car bombing that killed two Islamic Jihad officials.
Israel had dismissed Lebanese and Palestinian accusations it was behind the killing of Mahmoud Majzoub, known as Abu Hamze, and his brother Nidal, both members of the Palestinian militant group in the southern port of Sidon.
The Lebanese army said the suspects had links to Israel's intelligence agency Mossad. Rafeh also confessed to assassinating two officials of Lebanon's Hizbollah guerrilla group and a senior Palestinian militant, the army said.
Several Palestinian militants and Hizbollah officials have been killed in Lebanon in recent years in attacks their organisations have blamed on Israel.
